1up Racing TC8 Bumper Brace | UltraLite Body Support

Adding to its line of optionals for the Team Associated TC8, 1up Racing has released a Front Bumper Brace and UltraLite Front Body Support for the 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Made in the USA from carbon fibre, the Front Bumper Brace & Body Mount Plate adds both form and function to the TC8. It also adds a second set of body mount locations, spaced further apart to move your posts away from pesky hood ribs or to better suit the shape of your body. Matching the style of the 1up Racing Rear Vertical Plate, the front version features the same dual-level design. This plate accepts the original body posts included in the TC8 kit. The Front Body Support braces the hood area of your super light weight bodies to keep the structural integrity intact for consistent aero and downforce at high speeds. The design of the 1up Body Support features racy, goose-neck wing inspired styling while having minimal influence on chassis flex. It’s easy to install with just two screws into the front bulkhead, on top of the upper bumper plate. Then, install the included lightweight M2.5 Pro Duty Titanium Screw and set the height to just touch the underside of the hood when the body is at correct race-ready height.

Wood wins BRCA Nationals Round 5 at Wombwell

Shepherd’s Tim Wood has won the fifth round of the BRCA 1:8 Onroad British National Championship at Wombwell, ending defending Champion Alex Thurston’s recent run of wins. Winner of the season opener at the Brooklands track back in April, Wood would take his second win of the season by almost a lap over Top Qualifier Thurston after the Mugen Seiki driver had problems in the pits that led to a crash while he was leading. At the start of the half hour encounter, it was third place qualifier Andy Hasting who set about chasing down Thurston after he got the jump on a slow starting Wood but the former Champion would find his way back into second. Unfortunately for Hasting he wouldn’t see the finish as he hit problems that forced hm to retire allowing Shepherd team-mate Karl Dransfield to complete the podium. In 1:8 Electric, Serpent’s Mark Green took the TQ and win ahead of Michael Walton and Mark Boothman. Next up for the British Championship contenders is the EFRA European Championship with the UK’s famous Halifax track hosting the Euros from August 11-16th.
